Who is Theodora
Theodora Cleave .. was my Nana's maiden name...& it is now my business name.
Hello !
Barb Smith, the designer of whatever drives my inspirational spirit.
A Small & intimately business by choice, is the individual way I love to meet my customers ....
Here, in the internationally successful business, you deal directly with the creator of the wood buttons, brooches & decorations,
.
Who intimately knows the story behind each of her santas, deer, angels, numerous cats & few dogs, and all the birds and some fine ladies as well as flowers, trees etc....
Who will Tell the stories at special outings like a Trunk show, a quilt show etc....
Some stories are created using the buttons & decorations in what I have named my Button Stories.... first created to show stitchers etc how to use them...which started at a Trade Fair... and has becomea part of my self expression !
There were times I also did paint fabric lessons from 2 of my stitchery books under the trade name of Woodcutter's Daughter .
Stitcheries & quilts, cloth dolls & santas arrive,
some are taken off production because I need to repackage or rethink how I present.... some need to be speaking from my soul & not what is driving a market range.... that takes time to process & courage to stand with what is a fierce individuality.
In the future you may find patterns that will house basic needlecase, pin cushion, coat hanger cover, fabric cat or bird that will then be interchanged for my stitchery applique & wood designs.

I Love what I do...
it all interests me... it is all creative.....
I have published 4 stitchery books in the past under my old trading name of Woodcutter's Daughter
